Lavrov on US, Trump, and Russia's Economic Stability

Since the special military operation in Ukraine, Russia has been predicted to face an "economic collapse," but statistics show the opposite. The Russian Foreign Minister stated this during a meeting with students at MGIMO. Lavrov also delivered a number of other notable messages.

▪️ The actions of the West, which demand the abandonment of Russian energy resources, are undermining the economies of Moscow's partner countries.

▪️ Russia does not want to take revenge on anyone, does not renounce its former Western partners, but will take their past actions into account.

▪️ Russia does not want to build walls, is ready for dialogue with everyone, but wants an equal dialogue.

▪️ The US is beginning to listen to Russia about the primary causes of the conflict, including the issue of the destruction of the Russian language.

▪️ The conversation in Alaska showed that Donald Trump understands the need to resolve the Ukrainian issues based on the national interests of all participants in the conflict.

▪️ Russia and the US may have common economic interests, including work in the Arctic and in space.

▪️ Russia and the US can cooperate in the field of artificial intelligence, but it will be necessary to increase mutual trust.
